I just purchased the iMac 20 inch 2.0 Intel Duo Core and I have upgraded it to 256 Video RAM, will that make a much bigger difference from the 128MB VRAM? I understand that they are the same Brand (ATI) and same model but different RAM, that's what kind of threw me off....Will that make the picture quality (wallpapers, icons etc) better or just advanced 3D Gaming?

Thanks in advance...

A big difference? No.
Better picture quality? No.

You might notice the difference if you use Motion, play some of the higher end games, have a lot of windows open, or a large second monitor.
